Schillings family made Adeline feel that she was a part of their family and she was equal to everyone. Schilling's children felt sad when Adeline was not shopping and sight-seeing with them.
Adeline was the fifth youngest of the Yen family. As mother passed away as soon as she was born so this brought animosity among the other sisters.
Adeline lauds the brother-sister relationship exhibited by the Schillings children. She was very compassionate with James, the third brother of the Schilling's family.
<h2><em>Metaphor, personification.
</em></h2><h2><em>
</em></h2><h2><u><em>EXPLANATION:
</em></u></h2><h2><em>
</em></h2><h2><em>The poem cherry tree is about the cherry tree which the poet wants to plant. He sow the seeds and seeds grow into a sapling and then in to a plant. It took eight years for the plant to produce cherry after so much struggle like extreme cold conditions, goat eating leaves of the tree, fungus of the plant etc.,
</em></h2><h2><em>
</em></h2><h2><em>Metaphor is a figure of speech in which the poet compares two things but cannot be taken literally. Example:’ Ripened and jewelled in the sun’ he tells that the berry is like a jewel in the sunlight which shows us that he admires the fruit but not ‘it looks like a jewel’.
</em></h2><h2><em>
</em></h2><h2><em>Personification means the author's way of behaviour the plant or any non living thing in comparison with a human being. Example: The flower danced in the cool breeze. In this poem it says about the cherry tree. ‘Its arms in a fresh fierce lust’.
